My life was forever changed by the music of Starflyer 59. "Gold" helped a frustrated teenager in the '90s be OK with feeling his feelings and asking questions about his beliefs.

I'm sorry but if you are a public commentator and your line in 2024 was like "pro-worker Republicans like Josh Hawley and JD Vance are building an interesting new labor-friendly lane for the second Trump administration" you are both dumb and dangerous and should retire

UT American Studies is my intellectual home, with a rich and expansive history of scholarship. These other departments share the same, crown jewels of what was once among the greatest public universities in the world. Just sick over this.
